Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 2 cheese slices
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Protein and Vegetables:
- 1/4 cup bacon crumbles
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 tomato, sliced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with salt and black pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter to coat the pan evenly.
- Gently pour whisked eggs into the skillet, continuously stirring and folding until they are almost fully set but still slightly wet.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions into the eggs, stirring to distribute them throughout the mixture.
- Carefully place one tortilla directly onto the partially cooked eggs, pressing down lightly to ensure good contact.
- Skillfully flip the entire egg and tortilla ensemble so the tortilla is now facing downward in the pan.
- Layer mozzarella cheese, crispy bacon crumbles, fresh spinach leaves, ripe tomato slices, and an additional cheese slice evenly across the tortilla surface.
- Crown the layered tortilla with the second tortilla, applying gentle pressure to help ingredients adhere.
- Cook for approximately 60-90 seconds until the bottom tortilla turns golden and crisp, then carefully flip the entire tortilla stack.
- Continue cooking for another 45-60 seconds until the second side achieves a similar golden-brown crispness.
- Transfer the hot, layered tortilla to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Swap butter with olive oil for a healthier version that reduces saturated fat intake.
- Use turkey bacon or plant-based bacon alternatives for lower-calorie and vegetarian-friendly options.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack to customize flavor profiles and keep the dish exciting.
- Meal prep tip: Precook bacon and chop vegetables in advance to streamline morning cooking and reduce total preparation time.
